You can also do this while in PE... Open a command prompt and type: drvload D:\Drivers\Driver.inf Replace D:\Drivers\Driver.inf with the location of the inf file and it will load your driver in to PE. This must be a real inf file though not a BartPE inf file. And it will get dumped out once the system reboots.

You can use this [LaunchApp] AppPath = %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\litestep.exe or [LaunchApp] AppPath = %WINDIR%\System32\litestep.exe You can put it pretty much anywhere but I suggest you put your shell in System32. It probably doesnt like your space in "Program Files".

That is a Barts PE and is a older version (probably 1.5). As far as needing to modify it I would discourage you from doing so with that version. The best (and legal) way to do it would be to upgrade to the new PE 2.0 and customize it your self. Microsoft has some issues with Bart PE being used for commercial usage.

Next time you have this happen or have another error during installation you can hit "Shift + F10" which will bring up a command prompt and you can then browse to the logs and find where the problem is happening.

The one you have is one of the wallpapers but isnt the main one. Here are the others.... Sorry for the size but I added all of the wallpapers in original format. http://www.fileshack.us/v/3030111/Wallpapers.zip.html

I hope you plan on posting these on the official Microsoft site. They are both excellent gadgets and can help to convert those that think gadgets are worthless.

Ok so far the response from MS has been that they never thought of the reasoning for a limitation like I have requested. After listening to my theories they have agreed that it is necessary for a true global setting that limits the computers max Recycle Bin size. They are only a couple days away from Release To Manufacture and it will probably not make the final cut. It will probably end up being added in a service pack or other critical update. When I get word back from MS regarding its final status I will post it here.

Still needing to accomplish this.... anyone else have any ideas?

I have spent a large amount of time with PE 2.0 for a rather large IT company. In the spirit of sharing here are the scripts that I use to build my PE 2.0's. First I start by creating a directory called PE in the root so it should look like this "C:\PE" Download the BDD package from Microsoft's Connect web site. Which you can create a free account to obtain. Once the package is downloaded and installed there is an addition package that needs to be installed. This package is found in C:\Program Files\BDD 2007\WAIK\waikx86.msi Install it and then place the following scripts in C:\PE and follow the process of running the these scripts. !EDIT!: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en Go there and download the WAIK it is no longer included in the BDD file from connect. 1MakePE Directory.bat rd /s/q c:\PE\winpe_x86 c: cd "c:\program files\windows aik\tools\petools" call copype.cmd x86 c:\PE\winpe_x86 pause This will delete and re-create a directory called C:\PE\winpe_x86 2Mount.bat cd \ cd c:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86 imagex /mountrw c:\PE\winpe_x86\ISO\sources\boot.wim 1 c:\PE\winpe_x86\mount pause This mounts the boot.wim file which is the operating system itself and allows you to edit its settings. Anything you put in this mounted directory will be in the X:\ drive when the pe is booted. There is also a folder called ISO this is where you want files just on the CD but not in the mounted image. 3Packages.bat cd \ cd c:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\ peimg /install=WinPE-SRT-Package c:\PE\winpe_x86\mount\Windows peimg /install=WinPE-HTA-Package c:\PE\winpe_x86\mount\Windows peimg /install=WinPE-MDAC-Package c:\PE\winpe_x86\mount\Windows peimg /install=WinPE-Scripting-Package c:\PE\winpe_x86\mount\Windows peimg /install=WinPE-XML-Package c:\PE\winpe_x86\mount\Windows ::The packages have now been installed and will now be prepared. pause This installs the packages into the image which include HTA, MDAC, Scripting, XML and SRT. SRT is the recovery package which includes the System Recover applet. 4PrepareImage.bat cd \ cd c:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\ peimg /prep c:\PE\winpe_x86\mount\Windows pause This prepares your packages that were installed. This only needs to be done once unless you change the packages that are installed and does not do anything for any of the other data thats inserted into your mounted image. 5UnMount.bat cd c:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\ imagex /unmount c:\PE\winpe_x86\mount /commit pause Once you are done changing the boot.wim OS file this will unmount the image. 6MakeISO.bat cd \ c: cd c:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools" OSCDIMG -bc:\PE\winpe_x86\etfsboot.com -n -o c:\PE\winpe_x86\iso c:\PE\winpe_x86.iso pause This makes your .iso image. Winpeshl.ini [LaunchApp] AppPath = %SYSTEMDRIVE%\NU2\nu2.exe [LaunchApps] This one is actually placed in the mounted \Windows\System32 directory and is the shell that is launched once its booted into PE. The nu2 line that is in there is not the shell that I use for my company but it is a good easy to modify shell which is why BartsPE uses it. I personally dont like the "Hit any key to boot off CD" prompt and if your the same way go into the c:\PE\winpe_x86\ISO\boot\ and delete "BOOTFIX.BIN". Which will bypass the hit any key option and the system memory diagnostic menu. Thats it! Pretty simple once its layed out. There are varying ways to do this same process and differences of opinions on ways to do each different part but this is the way that works for me. PE.rar

When I sort my desktop icons I want Computer to be placed at the top left above User. In XP this was accomplished by this key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}] "SortOrderIndex"=dword:00000054 However this does not work in Vista. Does anyone know how to accomplish this in Vista?

I am waiting for an email regarding this very thing from one of the project managers at Microsoft. Currently there is not a true Global setting but they may be adding one per my request. Once I receive the response from him I will post it here.
